Abstract

Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL), defined as hearing loss of >30 dB in three consecutive frequencies of pure tone average (PTA) within 72 hrs, is estimated to affect 5‐20 people per 100,000 worldwide. to look into the type and exact level of clinical improvement as well as the pre and post‐steroid treatment findings based on the sociodemographic traits of patients with idiopathic sudden onset sensorineural hearing loss. This Descriptive study with longitudinal follow up was conducted at department of ENT, IPGMER and SSKM Hospital, Kolkata for 1 year 6 month (February 2020 to july 2021). We collected data from patients who, throughout the aforementioned time, presented with idiopathic abrupt sensorineural hearing loss and were receiving medical attention in the ENT department of SSKM hospital. For our investigation, a total of 100 patients were included. In our study, 79 patients (79.0%) had intratympanic and systemic corticosteroids and 100 patients (100.0%) had both the tympanic membrane and the otoscopy intact. Our study showed that the mean PTA on day 0 of patients was 73.2300±15.4918 the mean PTA after 48 hrs of treatment was 47.6526±15.1821 the mean PTA after 72 hrs of treatment was 37.0964±19.3508 and the mean PTA after 7 days (mean±s.d.) of treatment was 26.4526±25.2432. We concluded that this study may provide important clinical information for patient care as well as substantial evidence of improvement for the intratympanic corticosteroid treatment of idiopathic abrupt sensorineural hearing loss.
